Transformers Deluxe Class Axor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Badass. That's Axor in one word. For a toy that was born out of Transformers Animated Lockdown via Revenge of The Fallen Movie Lockdown painted as a tribute to G1 Axer, he is one heck of an awesome repaint/retool. This is a deception car done right. Silvery gray paint job, crimson vent detailing, covered in blue spikes. Axor's vehicle mode is a mix of best of late 60s to early 80s American muscle cars; Sloping rear ending in a spoiler, sexy curvy fenders, wedge front, low and sleek, looks fast just sitting in park. A bounty huntin' muscle machine!
His transformation is fairly easy as he basically just unfolds out from under himself, just a bit fiddly when it gets to his arms and shoulder pads. But he's chock full of articulation (3 joints in his neck alone must set a Transformer record) Axor is TALL. Tall as or taller than as most voyager class figures. The detailing on him is just awesome, a piston gimmick in his axe arm and turning camshafts in his legs. The piecemeal asymmetry in his upper body really adds to the rough and tumble bounty hunter characterization. And awesomely, the air-scoop/engine that mounts on his arm can also be interchanged with RoTF Movie Deluxe Ratchet's "EMP blast missile launcher" in an homage to the same characters/toys of Transformers Animated. (the weapon's peg is even the same shape of TfA Ratchet's war wound) Sadly though it seems most of the run had issues where the engine doesn't mount on Axor's own arm snugly, or at all. His axe hand, regular hand and other pointy bits are soft rubber so nobody's gonna lose and eye. His malevolent red eye piping glows with a spectacular wickedness. Look out Boba Fett there's a real bounty hunter in town now!
If you liked the either version of Lockdown you owe it to yourself to pick this one up. Durable enough for kids and a great showpiece for adult collectors. He's a toy worth picking up, entirely a deal for the 10-15 bucks he's generally going for. Now, has anybody seen an Autobot medic around here lately...And remember parents: If you don't like challenging your children, BUY AGE APPROPRIATE.
